One of my favourite Doctors. It's always a shame to me because having seen Peter Davison interviewed, he says he feels he didn't nail his take on the Doctor until very, very late on into his run. Just goes to show actors/creatives aren't always the best judge of their work. Even with the fact that his first stories were filmed out of sequence, he had his Doctor down from minute one of 'Castrovalva'. A very underrated story, and an underrated Doctor.
agree totally and that's why actor's shouldn't be given too much clout when it comes to creative decisions on script, the look of the show etc. An example is Janet Fielding, precisely what she hated about the show is exactly what kept me hooked on the show as a teenager when it was being broadcast!.
Honestly, I was surprised at how much I loved the Fifth from minute one. He's just a really solid doctor all round, maybe not one of the standouts but I really like Five in Season 19
Its the humility he brings to the role with the hint of sarcasm and shortness at random small intervals 😂
@@Robert_MannersI adore his exasperated delivery of "Why are Earth people so...parochial?" in The Visitation. His Doctor is constantly dumbfounded by the stupidity that surrounds him, and Peter sells that beautifully.
@@Robert_Manners that scene where he says "yes, yes, that's why i'm searching" in response to adric asking if he knows where someone (i forget his name i havent seen the story in ages) is in i believe the visitation as a prime example of the latter
“That’s the trouble with regeneration, you never quite know what you’re going to get.”
Would you say regeneration is like a box of chocolates?
@@kevinramsey417 Oh yes! 😁
@@anon5263 Actually you did bring all those issues into play with your comment. Those are logical assumptions to make considering that people of colour aren't going to complain about finally being represented on the show, and neither are those in the LGBT community. Those who are part of those communities want to be included and only someone who doesn't like those people would complain about their inclusion. Back when Doctor Who started minority groups had absolutely no positive representation at all. It was illegal to write about LGBT characters and people of Colour were invisible except when they were victims of violence or ridiculed. Can you imagine what it feels like to never see anyone like yourself represented? Now you are complaining that not every story is about someone like you. Doctor Who was originally about educating it's viewers about history and that's exactly what episodes like "Rosa" do. You don't want to hear about it because it's about someone other than you and that's just intolerance. You don't complain about stories about Shakespeare, or Dickens or other White historical figures, just about history that features minorities. Instead of whining you should pay attention and maybe learn something about someone other than yourself. Everyone deserves to see stories about people and events that are important to and about them and the world is made up of many different types of people. The show has changed as the world has changed and you have to move forward with it. Wanting to remain ignorant about history and people who are different than you just stops you from growing and learning. You also have to understand that your opinion is only your opinion and not fact. Not everyone thinks like you and just because you don't like something it doesn't mean that everyone agrees with you. Everyone has different tastes and art is very subjective. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that the person who wrote it isn't talented, it just means that it didn't appeal to you. The person wasn't hired to write specifically for you so that doesn't mean that they failed to do their job or that they have no talent. Thinking that everyone else in the world thinks like you and thinking that everything has to be about you and not wanting to be exposed to anything that's about someone or something unrelated to you is the root of intolerance and bigotry. You need to be more open minded and tolerant. The world would be a very boring place if everyone was the same and Doctor Who deserves credit for allowing everyone to feel like they are represented in the show.
@@anon5263 I didn't say that they were my assumptions, they were the assumptions of the person replying to you. You obviously misunderstood what I was saying. Try reading more carefully.
@@anon5263 To clarify further I was commenting on your statement that the other person was making assumptions about you. I was explaining that their assumptions were correct and logically made. You seem to have misunderstood my point
I really love the way they showed the TARDIS actively helping the Doctor through his regeneration in so many ways.
Reminds me of Neil Gaimans' episode "The Doctor's Wife." The TARDIS is always trying to help.
The hardest part of playing any doctor, is the post regeneration sickness. Because each doctor would have the difficult task of playing both their predecessor and themselves. The way five reacted was the way four reacted to his new appearance. Then when four became five mentally, he accepted himself.
Lol Rose and Amy were lucky the Doctor didn't make them find a whole zero room 🤣🤣 5 was kinda a primadonna but we love him. Also the scenes with Nyssa and Tegan working on the TARDIS and explaining recursion were super cool. Would love more educational moments like this in the new series!
Teagan: "The Doctor is very strange."
So perfectly normal then.
I absolutely adore this episode, I love pretty much all the fifth Doctor stories tbh, such a fresh and fun era for the classic show.
I like the movement of 6 from caring and open to manipulative and controlling slow reveal
Boy the master sure knows how to pick a TARDIS exterior 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Doctors 5,6,7 and 8 were given justice in the audio plays. As were many of their campions.
Naah. They did good on TV. Different time and place and intended audience.
My favorite Doctor and era. I like every story he did. Even the weakest ones have something to recommend them. This is a good solid start and then there are my big four: Earthshock, Five Doctors, Resurrection of the Daleks and Caves of Androzani. Sometimes I just watch this one and then those four and I always walk away thinking "wow..."
This is a fine vintage of choice sir!
One of my favorite episodes of all time! "Absolutely splendid!"
Most comforting comfort story if the 80s, if not the entire show
The Fifth Doctor is my favorite. I love his first season. If I regenerated into Peter Davison I certainly wouldn't mind.
Its so nice watching these junkets of the DR. WHO Epsidoes in 2022. This takes me back to my child hood
Me too
I love the older versions of Doctor Who is so cool so beautiful so creative
I love Davison going in circles in the wheel chair, its unintentionally hilarious! Other than that the story is a delightful and he was a magnificent Doctor, my childhood favourite.
Plus, the brainy specs 😂
Still better than wobbly wobbly timey wimey googoogaagaa 😂
It's often been said that Peter Davison's main problem on Dr Who is that he unfortunately followed Tom Baker....
Exactly. All the Doctors who followed Tom Baker and later Tennant at the time were unfairly judged against someone else.
When they're viewed on their own terms? You see how amazing the show was in literally rebooting itself (as it would be called now) with great casting each time.
Problems with their eras were usually due to production or BBC politics.
@@davidaston5773 Tennant did also have the advantage of a better writing team and producer. Matt Smith only had Moffat, who was already running out of ideas come season 5, understandably.
@@davidaston5773 Well we’ll see where the series now goes without the BBC having any say on the programme, 2023 will certainly be a landmark time for Doctor Who. Sink or swim time inevitably. Regardless of how people feel about Jodie, the show has tanked to rock bottom.
@@lewisjones9623 Damn good point.
To be fair to Jodie, even if it had been a man the show would've got the same views because ever since Smith the BBC has damaged the show.
Gaps in seasons. Half seasons. And treated in such a way as making it seem less important to the public?
2023? RTD's own company isn't it?
Doctor Who as a brand doesn't need the BBC.
It's up there with Star Wars or Star Trek in terms of how iconic and world wide it's known.
I wouldn't be surprised if Disney buys Doctor Who in future.
That may sound silly but considering their behaviour in buying properties and entire companies? Not so far fetched.
In truth? Doctor Who as a product offers a uniqueness that very few shows can match.
@@davidaston5773 Especially with Colin Baker's Doctor....Talk about violent and gross out scripts. The coat that was foisted on CB by JNT was beyond description. Colin's choice in wardrobe was much more sensible...
I love how goofy and weird this episode is. The definition of Classic Who comfort food.
The 5th Doctor really loved his Cricket
One of my favourite episodes! And it’s a great comfort story for me! Always like to watch this one when I’m feeling down!
Truly a British lad
Hates a recorder, loves cricket
I'm certainly no fan of cricket, but it's very relaxing to watch
I saw Peter Davison in All creatures great and small first.
"That's the trouble with regeneration, you never know what you're going to get ... I was a student vet a year ago" 🤣
Pity this Doctor didn't have a thing for ....veterinary science instead of cricket.
And the soundtrack for this story is one of my favourites!
Truly gives me the will to watch the original series !
Do it! It's worth it.
@MultiFan Thank you !
@MultiFan no seasons 25 and 26 are the best place to start because they're the most similar to New Who. After that then going on from season 7 or 8 is the best thing to do. It's a good way to ease into the differences between Classic and New Who.
@MultiFan people definitely need to watch 1 and 2, but after they've watched some of the later eras of Classic Who. 60s Who is too different to New Who to dive into it straight away.
I am. Just started with the first (Hartnell) season a few weeks ago. Totally low-tech. Some recreations exist to replace the missing episodes (like “Marco Polo”).
After growing up watching the 4th through 7th doctors (and seeing some of the new series), it gives me a sense of how the Doctor developed over the years. You also get to see the origin of the Daleks and other classic characters.
That Adric kid was always getting into some sort of shenanigan...
The just png of a pillar fading away with the master laughing i so funny
" An Isolated space ,cut off form the rest of the universe"
" I could have shown him Brisbane"
ha it wasn't that bad back then
It’s funny that Castrovalva in Doctor Who is a planet because in real life it is a town in the South of Italy
It was probably inspired by the place as they look very similar
I would love to see a montage of Anthony Aynsleys evil chuckles
Always liked this Doctor. Peter Davison is married to the actress who played Madeline Basset in the Wooster and Jeeves series, the second actress in that role on the series. She really did a good job with the role, great voice.
This was the early 80s right? They were really going for the aesthetic. The outfits, the hair.
They weren't ''going" for that aesthetic, it's just how things looked back then.
In your opinion, what Peter Davison's 5th Doctor did for Classic Who is what David Tenant's 10th Doctor did for Nu-Who?
I miss when companions were this independent, like nuWho’s makes it seem that only the doctor knows how to fly the tardis… apart from Clara and Yaz, no other NuWho companion ever even tried. As underwhelming as 13th’s era was, at least he got Yaz who was the first companion since classicWho to STUDY and LEARN to fly the TARDIS…
29:01 the true highlight of this story

I guess regeneration is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get...
Unless you're Romana. 😁
@@retnavybrat Don't forget 12's incarnation, based on Caecillius...
@@marknorth8904 I suspect that was more of a subconscious influence, otherwise 12 would've come up with a color for his kidneys that he actually liked. 😁
@@retnavybrat Good point....I guess we'll never know what his ideal kidney color would be...
More like the secret gamble box in COD. You truly never know what you're gonna get
Never quite got on with the chap as the Doctor.. Tom Baker was the best
How many of you cried when he unraveled that thing?
This version has a happy ending. Castrovalva just carries on without the Master and then gets back to thinking about what they do if they are his creations and they've killed him and if it really matters if their geography is paradoxical.... not too bad really, on they go with their handicraft with enough hadron power to sustain them for the rest of time 💜
But the Master lost his web. His WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB!
@@gantz22ify 🗿
This one's definitely a favorite. They nailed the M.C. Escher vibes.
Castrovalva seems such a peaceful and restful place.
Especially the library
Books and stuff 😊
A masterclass in acting there.
the background music is very similar to the BBC hitchhikers guide to the galaxy music
I haven't gotten to watch any classic Who, but I think when I do I'm going to like Teagan.
There is bound to be a Xerox room in there somewhere.
...and sometimes all it took to resolve a regeneration was a good cuppa
That ending scared the daylights out of me as a kid
The thumbnail has 2nd Doctor vibes
One of my fav all time episodes. Miss writing and the odd analog soundtracks like this.
Part 1 and 4 are really great
My favourite post regeneration story.. Adric, Nyssa, Tegan and 5 were amazing (that's also the reason why they are one of my favourite TARDIS-Teams, because they are always amazing, haha💆🏻♀️).. Castrovalva's definitely one of my favourite episodes! 😌
Tegan is bae, but the Doctor's first mistake? Not letting the Master keep Adric.
Didn't one of M C Escher's staircases lead to the Squid Game arena?
Thank you!
With all due respect to Davison, Colin Baker, and McCoy, none of them could hold a candle to Tom Baker's legendary run in the role.
The show really began its steep downhill decline during Tom Baker's final season in the role under John Nathan-Turner's direction, which further accelerated throughout the 80s until the show was finally cancelled in 1989.
The Doctor Who character and franchise effectively ended with Tom Baker 1981, as he was never properly replaced, nor was his former producer Peter Hinchcliffe.
1st thx for posting this, it's been yrs since I saw this. Looking upon it it's not the greatest regeneration episode. Just confusion and running about. Anyways I still enjoyed watching it. Thx again for posting.
Wow!The fifth Doctor sure had his hands full! Castrovalva is a place that I would definitely stay away from!
I hink the city was named after an Escher picture - a reasonably logical one, by his standards - and was based on the same sort dimensional paradox Escher was so fond of.
When I met Peter Davison 7 years ago at comic con I was amazed to find that me and him looked to be the same height.
I have a very vague memory of the fireplace Tardis from around age 5-6 when it was new. Good to run in to it here, long time no see. Incredible.
29:00 No, not his web! Not his WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBB!
A superb Doctor. Maybe the best-acted.
I love that outfit
We're caught in a space time trap!
Tom Baker will always be my Doctor, but, when i first watched this, i liked the idea of the Doctor being just as confused with the change as i was....plus no one liked Adric....had to wait till Earthshock to get rid of that irritation
Privately, Peter Davison did think Matthew Waterhouse might be better suited in another employment field...Tom Baker and Matthew had their arguments off camera, except for that one they had on camera in Logopolis...
I prefer Tegan in the leather skirt.
Janet Fielding did look rather fetching!
I see all this stuff about how Dr. Who is great, but if I'm not mistaken, he was invented before color tv was a thing!
I'm fairly certain even if I do binges, it'll take a good decade out of my life!
Well, hey, you've got to take the technology as it was from 1963-69...
I personally recommend getting "The Doctor Revisited " my local library had them. The first collection is doctors 1-4, then 5-8, and the last was 9-11 (idk if they've done more since, at the time it was up to date)
Each disc is dedicated to each doctor, does a sum up that doctor, their companions, villains, monsters. One ep of each doctor (so the ENTIRE 8th doctors film)
It's a good foot in the water.
If you aren't familiar with old shows and their speed (or lack there of) then I'd recommend starting with the revamp (doctors 9 on). If you like it, go back and watch the classics. I think I started the classics before the 12th doctor? I watched all of the classics my local library had available. I also printed off the entire wiki page of doctor who to keep all of the episodes straight and make sure I was watching them in order.
@MultiFan oh... Well, this is slightly better for me, presumably the equivalent of a holocaust for today's Dr Who fans. Lol
@UCGbqXzaqzL7AzjQLWG94vqA the show started at 1963 and ended at 1989. About 20 years pass, and it gets a restart. I'm joking at the concept of super hardcore fans (trust me, you're not one. Check out Tumblr hardcore Dr Who fans. Ignore the sane ones) mourning about the fact how there could be more episodes crafted between "old school Dr Who" and "modern Dr Who".
On an unrelated but amusing note, if seems I wrote "Dr Who" enough times to trigger the autocorrect algorithm, and now it also suggests "Dr Why" and "Dr What"! 😂
@UCGbqXzaqzL7AzjQLWG94vqA this was supposed to be directed at you....
Pretty sure the actor who played Mergrave also played the Nazi brute Indiana Jones fought who got ripped up by the airplane propeller in Raiders of the Lost Arc
The first episode of classic who I ever watched🙌
First four, surely?

7 was my Doctor and I distinctly remember watching Battlefield at my grandma's
Why does Tegan look like she’s dressed as an Airline Stewardess?
Because that is her occupation.

Either way it's a silly place

Torturing Adric? The Master is the real hero of this story.
"This is a time machine!" "And we're traveling backward in time!"
"Back to the first event!" "The creation of the galaxy from a huge in-rush of hydrogen. We're heading straight into the biggest explosion in history!"
It's almost like they know what they're talking about but not quite.... and I mean the writer, not the actresses.
Question: If the Doctor's tardis makes it's sound because the parking break is on then why does the Master's tardis make the same sound?
Did the Doctor's clothes shrink during regeneration ?😂. Peter Davison is a much more slender build than Tom Baker and less tall, yet he is able to wear Tom Baker's Dr Who uniform as if it had been run up for him by a tailor on Saville Row.
Fave episode
Why does the Tardis have a cricket pavilion changing room? None of the Doctor’s previous incarnations showed any interest in cricket.
GO SOFTLY ON

So much better than the last 3 seasons.

I guess this is a hot take, but I didn't really like this episode all that much.
M.C. Escher
g-r-e-a-t,
That's for sure
The success of "Star Wars" doomed the Whoniverse to first decline, then, irrelevance. The BBC's budget for Dr Who ran to tin foil and lip gloss, but little else. Certainly not the kind of cutting-edge special effects the show needed to keep pace. This episode is both watchable and bearable now as kitsch nostalgia, but, at the time, when I first watched it, it was just cheap looking and iredemiably old fashioned.
lol
Don't think I watched this I was swimming at cousin house pool on a week night, DR WHO was on Monday til Friday night here in Australia Tasmania on summer so I went swimming instead this all have to say
ok
sounds like you nearly drowned a few times there sparky.
Tegan: "Castrovalva!"
Nyssa: "It's only a model."
Tegan: "Ssshusshhh!"
On second thoughts, let's not go to Castrovalva
It is a silly place
Love 5 and I’m not a hater but this is one of the most boring first stories in the series. They spend an episode building a cabinet. Then they spend an episode carrying it around. The doctor must face the terror of a confusing town map. Directed like a provincial soap.
Definitely the weakest of " the regeneration trilogy"...
1:09 Early bad photoshop
The 2nd master is a bad actor he is a joke compared to the original master Roger Delgado rest in peace .
Oh wow lmao I've never watched Classic, so whenever I see clips it's always suprising how bad quality it is (not hating I know it's good in a different way just objectively worse in an Sfx way)
@MultiFan yes I know. I'm not saying the show is bad, just the SFX which ruins it for me personally
“ TEGAN! What's the matter? The Master's TARDIS. “
“ Ah. You've come to help me find the Zero Room. Welcome aboard. I'm the Doctor Or will be if this regeneration works out. “
“ ADRIC! That's the trouble with regeneration, you never quite know what you're going to get. “

“ THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE DOOR! “
“ Event One. A trap, Adric said. This is a time machine. And where traveling backwards in time! Back to first event! The creation of the galaxy out of a huge in rush of hydrogen. We're heading straight into the biggest explosion in history! Farewell, my friends. Farewell, forever! That face, I hate it! We must do something. There's only one thing we can do. and? That's all. “
“ NOOOO! You must control these dangerous emotions Adric, they're only causing pain, besides interfering with the reception. Now ... CLOSER!! “
“ GO SOFTLY ON!!! “
“ Smoke! Heat! And noise! Adrenaline! Neuropeptides! The brain is working! Neuropeptides, what's he talking about? The excitement's changing his biochemistry. It's only temporary but perhaps he can help us. We must take him back, it's not safe. But the Doctor's our only chance, unless we can find some way of getting the temperature down. Manual override, Nyssa. I'll have to explain how to vent the thermobuffer. Listen very carefully, my concentration may go again at any moment. “
“ That's it. We need to take him somewhere uncomplicated. Somewhere away from technology. “
“ Closer boy ... I must see him, HEAR HIM! no. No! So Doctor, you have survived. But at what cost I wonder. “
“ So, this air hostess person's flying it eh? Well I wish her the best of luck. “
“ Touchdown! We've made it. We've made it! “
“ Doctor? Blood ... He's gone! The Doctor's gone! “
“ Doctor. Everyone's looking for him. “
“ One ... Two ... Good day ... .One ... Two ... No, no, no, no. One! ... Two!... Three, sir. What? Three, sir, is what comes after two. Do you know that's exactly what I thought? And then four, and then five, and then six, and then seven ... Stop! Please, you're making me dizzy. We'll have to give you a badge for mathematical excellence. Adric. Adric! “
“ Recursive Occlusion! Someone's manipulating Castrovalva! We're caught in a space time trap! “

No, sir. I have but one. You positioned it four times. It may be approached, sir, by many different routes. “
“ A trick! The Doctor's here. Are you sure of that, Master? Enough of your deceptions! Where are you? I'll fetch you out wherever you are. “
“ Yes, a trap has now been sprung. We can begin to dispose of all the bait. “
“ Shardovan, get back! Don't touch the web. It's holding Castrovalva in balance. You do not have the will! You made us, man of evil, but we are free. My web! My web! The Master! Look! The fireplace. It's his TARDIS. “
